00:00 Well, I mean, the first thing you have to realize is that we are not in government.
00:05 So you have to keep that in mind.
00:06 Yes.
00:07 That's why I asked, what would you be doing when you come to power?
00:10 So I want to point out two, three things to you.
00:14 First of all, the idea, you can sit, you can sit.
00:17 The idea of the Bharat Jodo Yatra was precisely to address what you are saying.
00:25 I believe that regardless of which religion you're from, which community you're from,
00:32 where you come from, you must feel comfortable in this country.
00:37 And you should feel comfortable in every corner of this country.
00:40 That is the constitutional foundation of India.
00:45 Okay.
00:46 Second, you are right that Muslims are under attack in India.
00:51 This is not wrong.
00:53 But you must also realize that there are many other people also under attack in India.
00:59 Okay.
01:00 Please look at what is going on in Manipur today.
01:03 For four months, Manipur has been burning.
01:07 Right.
01:08 So you must not think that you are the only people under attack.
01:12 All sorts of...
01:13 Yeah, yeah, it is happening.
01:16 Of course it is happening.
01:17 But it is happening to Muslims.
01:19 It is happening to other minorities.
01:21 It is happening to Dalits.
01:23 It is happening to tribals.
01:25 Right.
01:26 Because it is the attitude and the approach of the BJP.
01:30 And this is something we are committed to fighting.
01:32 And you're very well aware that myself and the Congress Party are at the forefront of
01:38 this fight.
01:39 Right.
01:40 So that is something that is very, very clear.
01:44 As far as your representation is concerned, and the representation of Ladakh and specifically
01:49 of Kargil, I'm of the opinion that democratic rights, rights of all individuals, rights
01:58 to elect your own leader, rights to spend the money that is yours are sacrosanct and
02:07 they should not be attacked and challenged.
02:09 So on that, we are 100% committed and there is absolutely no confusion.
02:15 Right.
02:16 What is going on in India?
02:18 The purpose of what is going on in India is to basically take away the wealth of the Indian
02:26 people.
02:27 Okay, if you see, you're saying to me that there are no jobs in Kargil.
02:32 Correct.
02:33 I 100% agree with you.
02:36 But I walked from Tamil Nadu to Srinagar.
02:43 Every single youngster in every single state is saying the same thing.
02:47 They are saying there are no jobs.
02:50 The single biggest issue in India today is unemployment.
02:54 Do you read in the newspapers that unemployment is an issue?
03:00 Maybe in Ladakh newspapers, but in Indian newspapers, Delhi newspapers, national newspapers,
03:07 nothing.
03:08 Right.
03:09 So these issues, of course, they're specific to Ladakh and of course, they're important
03:15 for you.
03:16 But the reality is that these are issues that are being faced at the national level, at
03:20 the state level everywhere.
03:22 And it is because the government of Mr. Narendra Modi favors one or two people and basically
03:31 is aimed at giving the wealth of this country to those two or three people.
03:38 The reason you are not being given your rights is because the BJP government wants to take
03:47 away what is yours.
03:49 There is huge solar energy potential in Ladakh.
03:53 Correct.
03:54 Right.
03:55 They want to hand that to Mr. Adani, if you want to hear it very simply.
03:59 And that is why they don't want to give you the rights.
04:01 They don't want to give you the ability to decide your own government.
04:06 They don't want you to elect your own local representatives.
04:09 And this is a national fight we're fighting.
04:13 So you must have no confusion about that.
04:15 What will Congress be doing when you come to power?
04:19 Will you release those guys who are incarcerated in jail?
04:24 No, no, no, no, no, no.
04:25 We have to function according to courts, my friend.
04:28 We cannot function outside the legal system of this country.
04:32 Right.
04:33 You have seen the burn of the legal system.
04:36 Please, you have to realize.
04:37 You got disqualified because of the legal system.
04:40 Well, I have to operate in the constitution.
04:45 I have no choice.
04:47 If the Supreme Court has reinstated me, if the Supreme Court had not reinstated me, I
04:53 would have to abide by that decision.
04:55 I mean, as a politician, those are the instruments that I have.
05:02 But what you're saying, absolutely, we are very sensitive to unfairness towards any community,
05:10 any group, any religion, any caste, any language.
05:13 That is for sure.
